Hi! I’m confused. Might have 83 Protons. Idk. She/Her They/Them I post art, memes, and I reblog a whole lot of stuff so.

“ugh stop being excited about the barbie movie you know it’s just a 2hr advertisement” yeah bitch so was the lego movie?? the mario bros movie??? the sonic movie??? every transformers??? every mcu film??? gee golly gosh what’s different about this movie than all those others

i cannot emphasize enough how much elon musk is very much not killing twitter on purpose. he is not that smart. you are giving him too much credit. he makes cars that melt. a few weeks ago a billionaire imploded several other billionaires and himself in the ocean because of this same brand of born-rich brainworms. destroying a social media site because of a petty, long held grudge over his paypal co-founders not letting him rename that to "X" is not a stretch.

Let’s be real, in the next few days/months, AO3 could be like “hey, due to the unexpected costs of maintaining and updating our servers after the attack, we would need about 10K please. We would accept any penny you can bear to part with, but don’t force yourself!”

and then get 500K, a house, a brand new server, and a kidney in about the time necessary to read a 1.5k word long oneshot.

Shout-out to Ao3 for not only being transparent in the work they're doing to try to get the site running, but for IMMEDIATELY calling out any islamophobia. They're doing fucking WORK rn, all on a volunteer basis, and while most of the comments I've seen are far and away supportive I just know whoever is in charge of their socials is watching the comments section unfold with a migraine.

Anyway this is all to say I love Ao3 and the people working on it rn are dealing with absolute chaos, so the next time someone throws out a line about "why do they need a fundraiser every year" please remember today.

Favorite thing about renaissance faires is that they have fuck all to to with the renaissance. This thang is not about historical anything this is about dressing up like a fairy and watching a joust

“oh they’re not taking away chronological dashboard, well everything’s okay then” they also said in the post they’re making reblogs collapsed (like comments on twitter) so you won’t see the full conversation in a post. they also won’t get rid of tumblr live despite it being an annoying and cancerous data-miner that isn’t legal in much of the world. they won’t even let you opt out of tumblr live for more than seven days. they implemented a terrible photo viewer that mimics tiktok and makes it so you can’t zoom in on images. they took away the ability to view prev tags. they’re making it so you have to sign in with your email to view almost any thing on tumblr. they’ve already made it so you have to sign in to send asks, even on anon. they’re slowly phasing out custom blog themes.

the things that make tumblr at all usable and favored by us– the older web blog features, the anonymity– that is still being taken away. it HAS been being taken away for some time now. i am urging you people to reveiwbomb the tumblr app. force them to acknowledge that users do not like these changes.

it is with a heavy heart that I inform you all AO3 is apparently currently down worldwide and I’m starting to panic thinking about how I’ll sleep tonight without staying up till 5 in the morning reading my comfort whump with hurt/comfort fic in which my blorbo is going through the worst kind of hell

[Image description: a fake screenshot of a dashboard with wobbly lines, hand drawn as opposed to drawn with a ruler or other tool, and a comic Sans text font. The dash contains two posts, the top one is by waterlover1998 and says “i wish i lived near the ocean. i love the sound of waves and walking on the beach at sunset :)”. Under the post it says it has “a lot of notes”, and the symbols to reblog, like, comment, and share are also hand drawn.

The second post is from deeplyunpleasantperson, who reblogged it from rudeindividual. The post is by nastyman and says “‘uwu i love the ocean fucking waves seashells foam sandcastles seaweed uwu uwu’ shut the fuck up Imao i’m gonna kill you”. The user differentperson replies “what’s wrong with the ocean”. The OP nastyman responds “Imao Imao get off your fucking high horse looks like someone needs to log off! go outside loser shut up. 'i love the sound of waves’ well i love the sound of pussy because i fuck like a champ. cringe.” This post also has a lot of notes.]

The quicker we forget the pandemic the quicker we forget how easy it was for governments to ban evictions, forbid creditors from chasing debtors, find the homeless homes, provide a universal basic income and more. All the things we we are told are impossible
